Very true John. As I mentioned before I've done the SB/SD thing before and as I am still in my 20s, I can command a decent allowance. It just depends on where, who, chemistry, and a ton of other factors.
When I saw someone in Vancouver (which is actually what led me to being a provider full time) it would have been around 3000 a month (as he was only looking for "part time" - 1, maybe 2 visits a week with dinner + movie + time at his place). Unfortunately in Vancouver average rent STARTS at 1500. So 3k/month as your full time job? Yeah, no. Just no. I discovered I could work LESS and make MORE providing in Vancouver. Not the same everywhere, some places you can make more as an SB than providing.
If you're not in your 20s (or can't reaistically pass for in your 20s) or as John said are not extremely "well preserved" you are more than likely better off as a provider. That's not to say there aren't SDs out there looking for mature or BBW SBs by any stretch - but they're few and far between, and the allowance is going to be nothing like what a 25 year old hourglass would get. And in terms of the money received vs time invested ratio, providing would probably take about 1/2 the time for the same money. If you thought this industry was looks based, being an SB is even more so. You are arm candy, you are a trophy, you are a lover and a friend, you are a travel companion - but first and foremost, you're eye candy
